🌟🌟🌟💫
Dom is raising his three children on a secluded and somewhat barren island near the Antarctic. The kids know no other life and all have found their calling, whether it’s with the seals and whales or the conservation of the world’s seed bank.

With no other scientists left to help they are alone. That is until a woman washes ashore.

🎧Loved the atmosphere and the storytelling. The cast of narrators were amazing! But the storyline itself just fell a bit short. Not sure I can put my finger on it. It almost felt like there was so much anticipation behind the building tension, ultimately leading to the ending that was just somewhat flat. Perhaps with all the glowing reviews my expectations were just a bit too high.

Thank you Lindsay! I agree! The narrators were all amazing! I just needed a bit more from the storyline itself.🧡


MarilynW All of this author's books leave me feeling a sense of doom, I never expect butterflies and good times ahead. Wonderful review, Kaceey!
